Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 20 wonton wrappers, cut into 1/2-inch strips
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Pour the vegetable oil into a deep skillet or pot and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C), ensuring it’s hot enough for frying the wonton strips to a crispy texture.
- Prepare wonton strips: While the oil heats, carefully slice the wonton wrappers into thin 1/2-inch wide strips, making sure they are uniform for even frying.
- Fry the strips: Fry the wonton strips in small batches for about 30 to 45 seconds, turning them occasionally to cook evenly until they turn golden and crispy without burning.
- Drain and season: Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried strips onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt and, if desired, dust with garlic powder or paprika while still warm for extra flavor.
- Cool before serving: Let the fried wonton strips cool completely to ensure maximum crispness before serving as a topping or snack.
Notes
- These crispy wonton strips are perfect for adding texture to soups, salads, and various Asian-inspired dishes.
- Store cooled strips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain their crispiness.
